We received a Letter from Paris this day, to which we have given the precedence of the other w hicli follows it, on account of the importance o -its contents, and we have received from another quarter a corroboration of its truth.—A dreadfu Plot has been discovered in Paris, and it has been hinted, but we cannot give any credit to tha part of the statement, that even some of the Roya Family assisted to form and organize it. The Plot, as appears horn the letter which we this day publish, and from another, received also this day, whic supports its contents, was to induce the KING to go to PoNTAINELEAU, 211(1 there to make him ABDICATE the THRONE'. The Count D'AttTots was then to be placed on the vacant Seat. All the Ministers were to be imprisoned in the Castle of Vincennes, except the Minister of Police, who was to be HANGED ISIMEnIATSLY. A new Ministry was no minated, and, as the other Letter says, " yournay judge of its composition from the infamous Coward DOWNADIBU having been named as the MINISTER At WAR." If our Readers will refer to our Path Letter inserted on Saturday last, they will see trot D wNNADIEE.7 had been sent to Et;ion for the rurp( se of inspecting two Swiss Regiments, bu more probably of corrupting them. 'This horrible Plot was discovered by M. DEC.SE, Min:ster of Police, the intended victim. We con Sider it as a most fortunate circumstance that this horrible Plot WAS deVCI OW at the present critica period, xvhen it h reported that the Al Sove- reigns were about to meetosith the intention, as sup posed, of witildr(min4 their respective tioops from the Frcnch territo, y. We have all along stre- nuouslv endeavoured to demonstrate the danger of such a measure in the present state of France, contrary to the avowed and reputed opinion of our regular Correspondent in Pari3, whose senti- rnentz, we conceive, will be effectually altered by this discovery, a discovery of the utmost import- ance to this Country and to all Europe.—We presume that after this execrable attempt to destroy the King of France, for, doubtic3s, his death would speedily have 'succeeded hit abdication, nobody will be hardy enough to recommend the removal of the Allied Ar- mies. We repeat our distrust of that :part of the account which appears to implicate any members of the Royal Family in the Plot, but it is certain that rumours to that effect are circulating is Paris. These rumours, however, may have been invented and promoted by the Jacobins, the most artful as well as the most flagitious wretches nn Earth. No doubt that a full development of this atrocious machination will soon be pro- niulged, but in the mean time we most solemnly assure the Public that we have related the intelli- Bence just as we this day received it, without the least addition, or exaggeration. The fact, indeed, speaks for itself in such ft manner as /mist alarm every State in Europe, and calls for the particula7 attntiJn 01 our Min;- stet -I, if they could be rash elsottgb to cline to the. proposal of I ernoving the Allic Troop !turn France, in the unsettled contlitio '►f "that Country, and before, indeed, all others have recovered from the shock of the French Re volution, and the consequent Despotism of 800 NAPARI We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Thursday last. Those of Friday, which were due this morning, have not arrived. We recently mentioned that the Ministers of the Allied Sovereigns had issued a Circular with reference to the intended Meeting of those Mo narchs at Aix-la-Chapelle. The Circular thus alluded 'o is published in one of the Paris Jour nals of Tharsday, in tl►e following terms : " MONSTEUR,—The Allied Sovereigns who signed the Treaty with France of the 20th November, 1815, having agreed to meet during the ensuing Autumn, in order, con formably to the sth Article of the said Treaty; tv take into consideration, in concert with his most Christian Majesty, the internal state of France, and afterwards to decide whe ther the military occupation of the frontier provinces of that kingdom shall cease, or whether it ought to be continued, my colleagues and myself have received orders from our respective Cabinets to make known to you the motives of this meeting. There is no doubt that the article before mentioned gives ex clusively to the Allied Sovereigns the right of deciding solely and exclusively upon the important question which it involves. Their Imperial and flOyal Majesties, however, wishing to avoid all unfounded interpretations that may tend to give to their meeting the character, of a Congress, and at the same time In prevent the interference of other Princes and Cabi nets in the discussions, the decision of which is expressly re served to them, have ordered their accredited Ministers and Envoys to make known to other Courts and States't he deter mination which they have adopted, to decline every overture of a contrary description which may be addressed, to them, and not to admit any Plenipotentiary who may be sent to the place destined for their tnectin:t. " In insisting upon a right exclusively reserved to them by the Treaty of 1815, the Allied Sovereigns do not wish to in terfere with the negociations set on foot at. Paris, London, and Frankfort, which way he terminated in the places where the conferences are established, and. under the intervention of all the parties, who, aware of their nature, are called upon to take part in them. " I have therefore the honour, Monsieur, to inform you of this unanimous determination of the Allied Sovereigns, in order that you may in the same sense . explain it every time that the Governments - to whom you are accredited express any intention,or desire of sending any person, or of taking any part, directly or indirectly, in .the deliberations reserved exclusively for the determination of the Allied Courts. "In those cases whiire circumstances furnish an opportunity for tbose explanations, you are icquested to make the decla ration of the motives of right and expediency, Which justify the proposed measure, with all courtesy and consideration, or that these motives may be represented in the same view, and accompaiied by the same spirit, by Thich they have been dic tated." The Duchess D'ANGOULEME arrived at St. Cloud • on Tursd ay last. M. FILVEZ has appeled iu cessation a,7,ainst the decree of the Gear Royale respecting his sen tence. FIVE PER CENTS.

Another consolation arises iota the de gradation of Sir F. BUADaTT, for taking also the number 5339 voted for Sir S. Romiu.y, who was at the bead of the Poll too, the Bar - duet can no longer be held forth as " Westminster's Pride," particularly when the Public consider the means which were undoubtedly used to raise him on the Poll, when be was so low on the earlier stages of the contest. But we shall drop this subject for the present, on account of the important intel ligence from France, which we this day present to all sound and reflecting People of this and every other Country. The following is given as the scheme for the in tended chairing of Sir F. BURDETT, which is fixed for this day week :—The Procession will be altogether on foot ; the Baronet only excepted, who will be elevated on a Car now building after the Roman stile ; no carriage or horseman will , he permitted to join the Procession, at least they will he requested to refrain from so doing. Sir FRANCIS will meet the cavalcade at Hyde Park corner, on account of the difficulty of epproaching his house, the door being in St. James's-place; it will then perambulate the principal, parts of Westminster, and proceed up the Strand to the Crown and Anchor Tavern, where dinner will take place at eight o'clock, at which Sir FRA.NCIS Sunpfirr will preside. ritIvATE AND AUILIENTIC CORRESPONDENCE, (Not from our regular Correspondent.) [RECEIVED THIS DAY.] Pants, Jury political horizon seemed to be clearing up, and my last letters breathed only the sentiments of general security ; on a sudden a cloud has overshadowed the Capital, sinister projects and criminal attempts are the only subjects of conversation—plots formed by some military leaders, not only against the Mi nister', but against the Person of the King him self. It is even asserted that the Conspirators had plotted to carry off his MaJesTv,,force him to ab dicate, and place Monsieur (the Count d'AnTots) on the 'throne, in the hope that that Prince would destroy the Charter, and revive with abso lute power all the abuses and injustice which prepared ,the Revolution. Whether it is that the Ministers held this Con- spiracy in coutempt, which, to every sensible person at all acquainted with the state of public feeling in Prance, was as ridiculous as it was cri minal, or whether the Ministers deemed it proper to envelope their operations in the profoundest mystery, certain it is ,that they have taken no ostensible measure, have testified no alarm.— Affairs have gone on as usual. The armed force has not been augmented, and the Government has remained in apparent. security. I !rave gone through Paris—l have conversed with, men of all parties—not one bad remarked the slightest dis position of Ministers to proteCt themselves against the impending storm. . However, the rumours - are accompanied with so many circumstantial details, persons are named who are so well known for their to Go vernment, that I cannot doubt the existence of the project, even to the full extent assigned to it. Admitting it to be so, it is evident that nothing could be more senseless ; it is a real conspiracy of Ultras, and possesses all the characteristics of it, 'vain boasting in speeches, weakness in the means, folly in the execution, and want of fore sight in the result. I know well that it we were to listen to these Gentlemen we might soon discover tjiem capable of any thing of the kind. Bullies in crime, they have adopted the language of their predecessors the Jacobins, whose conduct they imitate as far as . they dare ; but happily their cowardice is equal to their insolence. ,If words and looks could kill, France would be one vast cemetery, for scarcely, any would be permitted to survive, save those worthies who, in March, 815, so roundly and so loyally swore to spill the last drop of their blood in defence of the Throne; yet when it came to the point, not one', not even one dared to look the Usurper in the face, though any one of them could bare ridded the earth of the great Disturber of Europe's Peace ; and those heroes who 'bowed themselves the descendants of the BAYARDS, the DUGUESCLINS, (Sv% either tamely bowed before the unarmed and unattended Usurper, or gloriously ran away to Ghent. Thus such men can scarcely be feared; r a battalion of grenadiers would put to the route the whole of this party in France, were they collected in a single point—they are, in truth, only strong in intrigue; they have nothing of the lion, but every quality of the foic, With one said to be peculiar to the ostrich, that of hiding its hc:id in the reeds, and fancying its whole body out of sight. Let us look. only at their conduct on the present occasion. After speaking of one of.the worst of climes witli all the , vehemence of so many little CATILINES, we see then, quietly skulk to their homes, and forget in profound sleep the re verses of the day. This insolent bullying of pride and hatred, attended with so much weakness, co vers them with ridicule in the eyes of even the most abject classes of society, and this ridicule of course renders the party still weaker. Be it as it may, how are we to account for the KING retaining such persons amongst his servants —how can he permit those traitors at heart, and known to be such, to approach him, and guard the Throne ? Can we make the Throne respected, - by placing on the steps persons who conspire its ruin, and do not even deign to conceal their execrable. designs and criminal hopes, It is not enough for them to declare themselves to the people as the enemies of their King, they even dare in their speeches, make of his successor a cowardly Usurper, and tread under foot legiti macy, of which they vaunt themselves the only supporters. What more odious or more abomi nable could the Jacobins or the Regicides them selves hare done ? PAnts, JUNE 29.—The loan of 24 millions of Tentcs, contracted by the Mi;:i!,ter of Finance with the houses of BARING and LABNYCHERR,II:I:=, as might have been expected, raised a great clamour amongst the " Patriotic Bankers," who complain of two things, to v.-i--!h a t they were not preferred to foreigners, azid that the loan was lllade at too low a rate, according to riice of W s ' 0 stock on 'Ch ange ; t h us as C ap i ta lists 114 in wounded in their interests, and as Frenchmen their patri o ti sm .
